blinds 0,25-0,50
utg with $21 calls I'm ($71) raising beihind him to 2.50 with AKo (red), everyone folds except UTG who calls.

Flop comes QJ10 two [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. He checks and I bet 3.50 and he calls.
Turn comes 9 :club. He checks. What do I do? He's got $15 left...

I usually bet full pot on flops like this w/AK, as youre likely to get action of some sort.

I would bet out again on the turn. If he has 2 clubs, thems the breaks and I'm doubling him up. You could still get virtually dead money from a bare Kxo, a call from a lone Ac, or from a dominated set.

bet more on the flop....I'd bet the turn and if he has the flush so be it but I don't necessarily give him credit when it's just heads up....sucks to lose this one but that's poker.

His stack is so tiny that you are pretty much destined to double him up on this hand. I look at his stack and go half his stack on the flop, and the other half on the turn. If he had a more normal stack, 3/4 pot flop, maybe 2/3 turn. Just a bad break, nothing you can do to get away from this.

Yes I guess I have to double him up on this one.
Was just curious if there was some way not to. Say that I check behind on the turn and fold to a club on the river and call if not. Is that just weak passive bad shitty chickenplay?? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
That way I couldsave some if he's got the flush and maybe win some if he valuebets/bluffs on the end.
